Read the Resistance- Global Gay

June 26, 2019   •   7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
  •   Cost: Free

Join Read the Resistance for a reading group discussion of Global Gay: How Gay Culture Is Changing the World by Frédéric Martel!

 

In Global Gay, Frédéric Martel visits more than fifty countries and documents a revolution underway around the world: the globalization of LGBT rights. From Saudi Arabia to South Africa, from Amsterdam to Tel Aviv, from Singapore to the United States, activists, culture warriors, and ordinary people are part of a movement. Martel finds that although the “gay American way of life” has created a global template for gay activism and culture, each country offers distinctly local variations. And around the world, the status of gay rights has become a measure of a country’s democracy and modernity.
